Legacy Software (SDKs, Apps, Adapters, and Interfaces)

Here you can find legacy SDKs and other legacy software products from AVT. Please note that AVT doesn't provide full support for all legacy SDKs. AVT's recommended SDK is VIMBA.

Note for Windows 8 users:
All SDKs principally run under Windows 8. However, the final tests are not yet complete and the installers are made for earlier Windows versions. For comments or questions please contact support@alliedvisiontec.com.
